March 14 and 15 Introducing Beds 92 and 92

 Good news ...... more places to garden

Introducing Beds 91 and 92 ...... this is going to expand my choice of what to grow ...... hoping to check out a few saved dahlia seeds from Thomas Edison ........  

Bed 91 was a bit of work!!  mint, which I saw, and lurking below the surface Sunchoke tubers ..... everywhere .....

will find out in a bit whether I managed to totally clear the bed .... decided to keep the thyme

Bed 92 was not nearly as bad, apart from the "structure" I dismantled (see pic above)
